OVER BRYAN
which Bryan was advertised to appear
and for an hour afterward hundreds
came and were unablo to gain admis
sion. That it was an enthusiastic crowd
and strongly favorable to the demo
cratic candidnto was evidenced by tho
prolonged demonstration that greeted
every reference to Bryan by tho speak
ers who preceded him, and tho riot of
applause that shook tho great edifice
when every ono of tho thousands stood
and waved tiny flags and gavo the
grectiug to Nebraska's most distin
guished -citizen when he appeared upon
tho stage.
Tho candidate exprcssqd gratitude at
what ho termed " this grand assemblage
of good democrats and republicans,"
and called attention to having received
their support at all times during the
eighteen years he had been in public
life in the state.
Following the meeting, Mr. Bryan de
clnred that although he had spoken
many times in the big auditorium, ho
hnd never had so largo nor so enthusi
astic an audience as the ono which

In his speech at the Auditorium,
Bryan said in view of tho fact that
so many in audience were republicans
ho felt ltko so-shnping-his address, as
to please the democrats without tread
ing upon tho toes of tho republicans.

defense of democratic principles is
more acceptable to tho republicans this
year than it over was before."

"Tho fight is won but wo must keep

two weeks of the campaign. It is too
early to givo out figures and I will not

The Miners union during its time in

NEW YORK, October 17. "If

mittee of three or four respectable
men, who expect nothing from polities,
I will appear beforo them and prove
that tho committee is dcmand'ng $500,

This was Strauss' reply to a state
ment from Sheldon, printed today, de
.Glaring that tno charge made by Strauss
yesterday that tho republican national
committee is assessing Wall street men
$500. each, is a falsehood.
"You don't supposo I would make
fuch a statement unless I knew it to

Sheldon's reply that my statement is
a. lie is no argument. I won't say how
much ho has collected. But 1 am ready

"In tho last presidential campaign,
when Judge Parker told about cam

Tho grand march was led by Mr.

tho beauty and chivalry of Globe. It
was a picture long to be remembered,
as the charming daughters of Arizona,
on the arms of stalwart men, passed
in review, displaying a brilliant array
of costumes and flashing jewelry that
was eclipsed only by tho bright eyes
of the fair women, the convention
black worn on tho proud form of the
men making an artistic and striking
background to tho beautiful picture.
Tho music, by the well known Drum

Job Had Been Carefully Planned and
, Brother Hinson Thomas Carries His
Role Through Like Daily Routino
Work, Wbilo Spectators Choke.
Alex Norvieh of Morenci, fresh from
his initiation, into Globe Lodge No. 489,
B. P. O. E., was arrested yesterday
afternoon for stealing a purse from
Will Rcid, a brother Elk. The stolen
purse was found on the prihoicr's per
son by Deputy Sheriff Frank Haynes,
and when Norvieh -was brought before
Justice Hinson Thomas, ho had nothing
to say in his defense. His guilt was
conclusively proven by a half dozen
witnesses before a crowd of Elks that
filled the courtroom to overflowing, and
justice Hinson Thomas, himself an Elk,
was compelled by stern duty to sen
tence the newly made member to
"Take nil those durncd -people out of
here and buy them a drink."
The trial was scarcely over and the
penalty paid, than Deputy Haynes, who
is ."lso a member of the fraternity, by
' i way, undertook to show tho Elks
through the county jail. This time the
wholo bunch was "pinched" by the
prisoners for "entering this institu
tion without properly qualifying for
association with tho intimates," and
Hnynes, together with Dr. McPheeters,
George Lockhart, Joo Meyers, Charles
Starr, Harry Rupkey, and all of the
Clifton brethren, were "soaked" one
dollar, each, which' they cheerfully paid
to the kangaroo court, enriching the
jail fund to tho tuno of about $25.
tlut the "kangarooing" of Norvieh
wr.s the stellar event of the day.
The "job" had been carefully plan
ned, and tllough the victim, was at
first dispose to look upon it as a joke,
the proceedings were carried on in
such an impressive stylo that ho was
finally awed, and tho court stenograph
cr is authority for the statement that
the prisoner's mouth twitchet quite as
nervously as that of any other criminal.
Deputy Haynes wsa summoned to a
soda fountain by Will Rcid after Jus
tico Thomas had been advised of the
program. Norvieh wa3 pointed out to
tho officer, who immediately produced
a warrant of arrest and then and thero
searched tho .prisoner. Norvieh would
have laughed it off, but this was seri
ous business, and tho warrant was un
mistakably "en regie," so there was
nothing to do but trot along to the
court house.
"For heaven's sake, boy, I am the
head of four departments; don't say
anything about this, poinded Norvieh to
the crowd of Elks that followed him
with offers of assistance.
Tho justice was very busy when the
crowd entered, and with an air of
being oxquisitcly bored, ho asked for
the complaining witness.
"Will you bo sworn?" he asked, as
Reid stepped forward, and Rcid was
sworn according to Hoyle, identifying
his purse and, telling how Norvieh was
standing next to him when he missed
it.
"Of course, this is a felony," ex
plained the court, "and, as justice of
the peace all 1 can do is to hold you
over to tho grand jury if the evidence
warrants it. Have you an attorney, or
do you wish to make a statement?"
"I have nothing to say," stammered
Norvieh, glancing nervously at tho
court reporter's fako shorthand.
"Are there any witnesses you might
wish to testify, Mr. Reid?"
"Yes sir," and from tho crowd came
tho names of "Boston" Welch, Harry
Rupkey, Henry Ncsbit, M. E. Conboy,
Hnrry Wright and others.
They aro all such solid witnesses that
the court did not think it necessary to
"Thero does not seem to be any
hear them.
doubt of your guilt," pronounced the
magistrate.
"Judgo, your honor," interposed one
of tho Elks, "this gentleman- hns just
joined our lodge. We do not believe
that ho could bo guilty of such a seri
ous crime, and wo would like to employ
a few lawyers to defend him. Could
that bo done?"
"Certainly; I shall bo glad of it,"
returned the court coldly, "but it will
be time enough when the case is
brought into the district court. As I
said before, there seems to this court
to, bo no doubt of the prisoner's guilt.
TJierc is a precedent for such a caso
'in tho 24th California Annual. This
precedent, Mr. Norvieh, leads the court
to sentence you to take all those
durncd people out of here and buy
them a, drink,'
The -yell of laughter- that .followed
brought tho shivering victim back to
earth and in an instant ho was leaning
over tho table and shaking hands with
the judge, trying to tell of "another
case just like that," but tho brethren
had been keeping their faces straight
so long that they could not wait.
"Cut it out; come on!"
It was just one grand chorus, and
Norvieh was dragged out to the place
of execution.
Ho settled up like one of tho "Best
People on Earth."
J. A. McIIiigh, another candidate re
cently elected to membership in the
Elks, has been reserved for a special
exemplification by the degree team. Ho
will be the most thorouglily-mado Elk
that over happened if he lives through
Monday night.

Save Property and Checking Flames.
A two-story frame house owned by
Louis Trojanovich and occupied by tho
family of John Despot, located in the
sandwash facing Graveyard Gulch, was
completely destroyed by firo about ten
o'clock yesterday morning. Whilo the
origin of the fire is something of a mys
tery, it is believed that a defective
flue ffai responsible for the blaze. The
loss is estimated at about $2,000, fully
covered by insurance. ,
When the fire was discovered flames
were bursting from the doors and win
dows of the second floor, occupied by
the Despot family. At the hour of tho
fire Mr. Despot was at work and Irn
family absent from home. Four miners
occupied apartments and "batched"
in the house, and it is reported that
their clothing and other effects were
destroyed. Assistant Fire Chief Burt
Pratt had charge of the department
and with the aid of the circus boys did
good work in preventing the destruption
of adjoining properties.
Cabin Destroyed
Thursday morning a. vacant cabin on
tho Eeast Globe townsite was complete
ly destroyed by fire. It is thought that
the place was occupied during the night
by uucmploycd men who fired it through
the careless handling of matches while
smoking in tho morning befprc leaving
the place. The cabin was located on
tho hill above Third street and between
Sycamore and Cottonwood streets. The
place was owned by a man named Trite,
employed in the Old Dominion mine.
Tho loss is placed at $150. No alarm
was turned in.

Pray for Republican Success
BRISTOL, Teun., October 17. Judgo
William II. Taft's keynote for Ten
nessee and the south was struck by the
candidate at Chattanooga this morning.
Throughout the day, which was spent
in traversing the state, he followed the
same line of argument and met with
the same hearty response.
With verbal amplifications, Judge
Taft emphasized this argument:
"With the material interess of the
south dependent upon the continuance
of republican policies; with nothing but
to vote the democratic ticket pray
ing meanwhile for tho success of repub
licanism with tho southern democracy
nothing but a tail to the northern de
mocracy's kite, why not now take the
first political cold plunge, go politically
where the material interests of the
country demand, and vote tho repub

So great was the demand for the can
didate that his itinerary of four stops
in tho state was increased to eleven.
Ho spoke during the day and evening
at Chattanooga, Cleveland, Athons,
Sweetwater, Loudon, Lenoir City,
